I met a problem. Sometimes we got translated sdlxliff file from linguists, and at the right bottom, it indicates: 0.61% Translated, 99.39% Translation Approved. I tried to find the Translated segments, make them to be Translation Approved. After checking every button, still have no clue.

I would super appreciate if someone knows how to solve this problem.

However, my problem is the sdlxliff file is huge, and I need to know how to find the TRANSLATED, then I can easily change the status to Translation Aprroved.

Hi Christin,

To globally change the segment status in an SDLXLIFF file from "Translated" to "Translation Approved", do the following:

Make a copy of the SDLXLIFF file

Open the SDLXLIFF file copy in a text program like Notepad, Notepad++, etc.

Perform a global replace: conf="Translated" for conf="ApprovedTranslation". (NOTE: Include all the text as shown [conf="..."], i.e., including conf and the quotation marks, otherwise you might corrupt the file!)

Open the SDLXLIFF file copy in SDL Studio to verify that you obtained the expected result!

If all looks OK, make the SDLXLIFF file copy your work file

Best of luck

... the process suggested here will work just fine.

Sorry, Paul, at least for me, it does matter how huge it is. In the end, it will indeed usually work, but for large sdlxliffs, it can take a huge amount of time. Certainly enough to think the programm has crashed, or, if you have more experience, brew and drink a cup of coffee, maybe enjoy a walk round the block too. This on a 64bit Win7 machine with 16GB RAM.

... in that performance wise it will take a while, and may not even be possible at all since the batch tasks can handle larger files than the editor can. In this case the SDLXLIFF Toolkit is the way to go... although I would guess that in this case most of the file is translated so I guess it’s not so large it could not be worked on unless it was split up in the first case.

Regards

Paul

If you need to check the translated segments one by one and then change the status to "Translation Approved":
1. Ctrl + g (In the "Go To" window, choose "Status" on the left, then only check "Translated" on the right)
2. Click "Next", it will jump to the next translated segment.
3. After this, press Ctrl + J, it will lead you to the following translated segments one by one.
